TL;DR Summary

Gaza's largest hospital, Al-Shifa, is on the brink of collapse as Israeli forces close in, causing a complete loss of power and oxygen and resulting in the deaths of patients, including a premature baby. The hospital has been relying on backup generators and a dwindling fuel supply, which has now run out. Thousands of seriously ill and wounded patients are trapped inside hospitals in Gaza City, surrounded by Israeli tanks and snipers. The escalation of strikes on and fighting near hospitals has exacerbated the already catastrophic medical crisis in the territory. Meanwhile, Iran and Saudi Arabia, regional rivals, have called for a cease-fire in Gaza and the delivery of humanitarian aid at a summit in Riyadh.
